The first two activities of the PhD thesis project are described hereunder. Firstly, the sampling of clam Chamelea gallina was planned in order to obtain a representative number of samples and carried out in the coasts of the Adriatic Sea included in the Marche, Abruzzo and Molise regions. Secondly, a method for the extraction from clams and the chemical characterization of microplastics (MPs) with Raman microspectroscopy (µRaman) was developed, which took into account the type of filters and the recoveries obtained.

Abstract

The first two activities of the PhD thesis project are described hereunder. Firstly, the sampling of clam Chamelea gallina was planned in order to obtain a representative number of samples and carried out in the coasts of the Adriatic Sea included in the Marche, Abruzzo and Molise regions. Secondly, a method for the extraction from clams and the chemical characterization of microplastics (MPs) with Raman microspectroscopy (µRaman) was developed, which took into account the type of filters and the recoveries obtained. The optimized method was applied for the analysis of the samples, for a preliminary assessment of contamination levels.
